Why do it? I am asked this question more often than I expected, even by existing Linux users who I expected to know as well as I the reasons for building a next-generation desktop Linux for the home user. So here are some of my reasons for thinking that we must spend the effort to create a better desktop on Linux than any existing version now has. Editor's Note: Due to a technical glitch, the first segment of this article was ommitted for some readers. If you missed the "why" section, before, you can read it now.

Yeah, I haven't touched a config file since October. You magically move to SERVER functions even though we are having a discussion about Linux desktops. Guess what, My Fuji Camera was supported out of the box, as was my pocket zip, Linksys wireless (The PCMCIA version), my USB mouse, and every single other piece of hardware in this notebook. I reworded the comment yes, and it is still true, I have done it with those very results. Sorry bubba, I'm not trolling those that claim it's not ready for the desktop are. It may not be ready for THEIR desktops, but it's definately ready.
